Posh house for sale, in a town near me, taking a topical approach to artwork ...

I'm guessing this isn't the UK? Maybe the owner saw the image (its the Marcus Harvey one painted with kids handprints isn't it? It caused a fuss at the RA in 1997 and was vandalised) and thought it was a cool image - not realising who the subject of the portrait is. Failing that - just don't view the property alone...:eek:

Am I weird - but I actually like the colour of the bathroom suite

Oh dear!

Using a microwave on a chair is really is a good idea (sarcastic smiley)

Loving the frying pan fruit bowl too.

The outdoor fridge is ideal for summer entertaining.

Reminds me of that webpage of that company years ago where most of the staff looked young, female and blond.

It's to demonstrate it's a middle-class area. If you're looking for kebab shops or cash converters you'll look elsewhere.

Or to get you thinking "That's just 'normal' level surroundings. Hang on a minute - how sad is that that so much housing has worse than 'normal' surroundings:(:(".

I just spotted the usual dismal Welsh bungalow full of dismal workmanship, looking out over what looks like a travellers encampment in dismal weather.

At least there's little EA guile at work, or even among the populace of that rather unattractive village.

Just down the road from there, we looked at a large property which was decorated to the same standard as that one, but they wanted mega bucks because it owned a boring-looking field. The lady owner opened the door, and as soon as I spoke she replied, "Oh, so you're not Welsh then? We're all Welsh on this road, you know!"

I've heard that, on average, it takes 11 seconds from stepping inside a property to a fairly solid decision about it, but with that one the decision was made before we got past the threshold! :rotfl:

spot the owner!

When I saw the words 'unusual' in the description, I had to look. They seem to be decorating this 1930s house variously as Elizabethan and Victorian, plus... carpet in the kitchen?!
